    I used a reg hose clamp but only because the ez clamps at home depot came in packs of six with all diff sizes, you'll get the one you want just pay alot more for it tahn you need for just the one.

    I did find them in Wal-Mart, after looking for about 30 minutes, finally found an employee to ask and they were on the clearance rack for a $1.50. Put it on in the parking lot. It was an assortment pack with 2 #20 size and a few others.

    I did the mod tonight in Lowe's parking lot. Cost my a 1.79. Question though, do you just need to install on the passenger side or should you do both? Thanks.

    The Walmart where I live doesn't have it either, anyone know if this is the right one? Link . It's about $13 for two clamps and fed-ex ground shipping.

    Where do they keep the EZ-clamps in Wal-Mart? I checked in the hardware and automotive but can't locate them. It is not one of those places I like to wander around in. Get-in, Get-out.

    TIA

    I actually have a jeep now. Imagine that.
    i just went to lowes and got them. It was like 2 bucks for 2 of them. My walmart had the clamps, but all the wrong sizes.

    Sorry to be so stupid, but what is the RV section? Or what other section is that typically close to?

    Thanks again

    Excellent. I'll check it out. It seems the stores here have the tools then automotive then sporting goods. I'll keep my eyes peeled for the RV section circa that area.

    Thanks again.
